lyrics

May I have your attention?
Never mind. It's already gone.
You're in some other dimension.
You don't even know what planet you're on

Are you playing a game? Do you think it's for real?
Everyday's just the same. You forgot how to feel.
When the power goes down do you turn off your mind?
Take a look around. Living Robots one by one.

Everyone seems distracted.
Everyone seems a bit out of touch
You gotta have the latest gadgets
When is it all too much?

Are you playing a game? Do you think it's for real?
Everyday's just the same. You forgot how to feel.
When the power goes down do you turn off your mind?
Take a look around. Living Robots one by one.

You get defensive
You get bent out of shape
What will you do if you unplug and there is nothing but a blank

Are you playing a game? Do you think it's for real?
Everyday's just the same. You forgot how to feel.
When the power goes down do you turn off your mind?
Take a look around. Living Robots one by one.

There is no past.
There is no now.
Erase the obvious
The why and how
Sensation overload
or creativity undermined?
Interaction subtraction
Forget what's left behind.

Are you playing a game? Do you think it's for real?
Everyday's just the same. You forgot how to feel.
When the power goes down do you turn off your mind?
Take a look around. Living Robots one by one.

All will succumb. All will give in
You will join us, you will join us. You will join us, you will join us. One by One.
